alimfp Posted November 13, 2005 Posted November 13, 2005 My twins are three and daughter is one - candy, little toys (cars, tiny dolls..), and other such items. I am trying not to gift my children with clothing as I remember being disappointed as a child with that sort of thing, lol.

copados1993 Posted November 13, 2005 Posted November 13, 2005 I usually try to find a fun kind of bubblebath to put in, some little Santa type candy, little toys.....crayons are usually agood thing too!
berry Posted November 13, 2005 Posted November 13, 2005 My parents were depression era kids. Fresh citrus fruit and chocolate was a real treat. Growing up, the tradition continued. It still continues with a little varation. Now we have Harry and David's chocolate covered blueberries, and cherries. Also M&Ms in the tube with the ornament on top is a must.23 years of the M&M tubes, I think it's time to do a M&M tree.
rosegarden Posted November 13, 2005 Posted November 13, 2005 My kids say their stockings mark how Christmas is going to be that year so it sets up a challenge to have cool stuff in there. Every year it changes. We always put out a large bowl of nice Christmas Fruit for Christmas morning When the kids were little, the fruit went in the stockings but now other goodies go in there.
Gator Pam Posted November 13, 2005 Posted November 13, 2005 I'm so bad... Beorn's 12, and the only small stuff he's interested in are video games. So, the majority of his stocking is filled with tighty whities and socks, LOL. Then we stick two obsessed over video games on the top. Still winds up costing about $100 or so to fill.
gisellerol Posted November 13, 2005 Posted November 13, 2005 IM GLAD MY KIDS ARE LITTLE THEN I COULD NOT IMAGINE SPENDING $100 ON JUST THEIR STOCKING. I PUT IN NOW LIP GLOSS SMALL ACTION FIGURES, CARD(UNO) CANDY
biomajor Posted November 13, 2005 Posted November 13, 2005 I put in Fruit and candy and Nuts and then some smaller stuff like perfume and jewelry for my daughter (Stuff that would be lost under the tree) and a game or watch or something for my son. He's 16, she's 13. 2 years ago, I put electric razors in both stockings. My son "lost" his and only just found it in his closet a few weeks ago. It had never been opened.
brynnfromtheblock Posted November 13, 2005 Posted November 13, 2005 IM GLAD MY KIDS ARE LITTLE THEN I COULD NOT IMAGINE SPENDING $100 ON JUST THEIR STOCKING. I PUT IN NOW LIP GLOSS SMALL ACTION FIGURES, CARD(UNO) CANDYI don't spend a 100, but it ends up coming close... you don't realize how much all that little crap costs until you get to the register.

best4less Posted November 13, 2005 Posted November 13, 2005 For my daughter: a DVD, lip gloss, candy, jewlery, little body sprays, nail polish. For my son: a DVD, candy, card games and I have no idea what else. He is so hard to buy for this year.
Peshua Posted November 13, 2005 Posted November 13, 2005 when we were growing up we didn't use the store bought stockings (did they have em then?) we used one of our socks.....and they were all filled the same every year fruit & candies and the all important candy cane hanging out of the top however these days the kids would look at us like we lost or marbles.....hmmmm maybe they are in your stocking guys!!!!
shopping mom Posted November 13, 2005 Posted November 13, 2005 I not only do the kids stockings but our parents as well. Anything goes in a stocking and I am always looking for bargins. Target had a bunch of stuff for 25 cents the other day and I really stocked up. Toothbrushes are traditional now, and favorite types of candy. I usually will put one nice gift with the stocking. My 20 year old was teasing me about never buying him an etch-a-sketch so there will be one in his stocking this year.
Guest all2tired Posted November 13, 2005 Posted November 13, 2005 Candy and small gifts that are too small to put under the tree.

outnumbered Posted November 13, 2005 Posted November 13, 2005 One candy cane and some chocolate Christmas candy, usually a few small action figures or other toys and a movie. This year I want to do the $8 lightsabers--either the lightsabers and a movie, or the lightsabers and a couple small toys. Not sure yet; depends on if I can get any of those $3.99 movies at BB on BF.
ebony0421 Posted November 13, 2005 Posted November 13, 2005 I bought my daughter(14) some of the samples from SEPHORA, a few weeks back. I also have a book, nail polish, mini perfume and some other stuff that I've managed to hide from myself. :lolrun:
fairydustcrissy Posted November 14, 2005 Posted November 14, 2005 For my girls (4 & 6) I do toothbrushes, a DVD each, sall toys (got some great ones clearanced 90% off at CVS, so like .59 each), pencils, crayons, maybe a barbie. And Hubby gets DVDs, toothbrush, cologne, etc.

Fur babies (dogs and cats): 3 toys, 1 can of soft food, 1 package of treats, a new collar
wf2afcop Posted November 14, 2005 Posted November 14, 2005 I made the stockings for my kids so they are wider!! Makes filling them much easier. They usually get Christmas chocolates from England (our love!!), small toys, character tooth brush and toothpaste. Poppers, filled with candy and just fun little toys I would never buy throughout the year, they have a blast playing with them.
Mommie2one Posted November 14, 2005 Posted November 14, 2005 Went to Walgreens today and bought my stocking novelty candy. they have their big .39 sale today on it. I waited too long thinking they would go on sale again closer to christmas and they didn't and had to pay the full .59-.99 price. I got it early this year.
